I don't see the torture rooms.
John Kerry remembers it like it was yesterday - it's seared into his mind.
The residents had a heck of an exit strategy, i'm sure
The new research revealed that relations between north and south were not without major conflict.
It is surprising, though not unexpected, that in this part of the world with the biological deficients we know exist there, that the concept of "conquest" is not considered a "major conflict"

The larger round clay balls raise serious questions about our understanding of ancient times, 5500 years ago.
If the small balls actually are designed to be used in slings for organized warfare, that is an important find.
And the larger balls COULD have been used in some kind of giant sling (Ref. giants in those days) or possibly a form of trebuchet invented long before the Middle Ages.
On the other hand, the little ones could be aggies for a neolithic game of marbles. And the larger balls could be a precurson of Ralph Cramden's bowling ball.
Wow, that is a find.
